When I received Bravissimo's Ivory/Ice Pink Rococo Charm bra late November 2012 or early December 2012, it fit well. I would've ordered a 28F, the size I already had in Bravissimo's Tanzania Stripe, but they were out. The Ivory/Ice Pink 28FF Rococo Charm arrived, and it fit! Now, mid-February 2013, it seems to flatten me out a bit, if I look at the side profile. (A few weeks ago, I tried the Tanzania Stripe in 28FF and 28G, because my 28F Tanzania Stripes (I bought two) no longer seemed to cover enough, though they didn't flatten me from the side view. To my surprise, and you can read about it in my 28G Tanzania Stripe review, both sizes fit. There was less mounding above the top line of the cups in the 28G, but I still got that Marie Antoinette cleavage.) I wonder whether my cup size has gone up. If it has gone up, will it go back down during different parts of my cycle? I don't know.

What I did conclude about the Rococo Charms (I bought two) in 28FF is it is a much less comfortable bra than my 28F Tanzania Stripes. I haven't worn the Rococo Charms much as a result. I have enough comfortable bras now that I don't have to tolerate scratchy materials, poking underwires, or digging in straps. The underwires are not too wide for me in the 28FF Ivory/Ice Pink Rococo Charm, but the channel should be cushioned better.

The colors used in this bra are unfortunately a good example of how not to combine colors. The outside surfaces look fine, but the inside juxtaposes a cooler pink with a warmer pink. The warmer colored underwire channel and back band therefore looked dirty, even when new.

On the good side, the outside color is very pretty and can pass as a nude color for me. I mainly wear dark tops to minimize my upper body, but occasionally I want to wear a nude color bra.

Edited to add:
Since I bought the 28FF Bravissimo Rococo Charm Bra, I've discovered I can wear 30 bands and still get adequate shaping and support. For comfort, therefore, I no longer wear 28 bands, except in bras with extremely stretchy 30 bands. For this reason, I would suggest you look at the band measurements of this bra and compare them to yours, if you're thinking of getting this.

This bra is not owned any more
